What are the implications for misalignment between practice act and published research about the benefits for nurse-initiated protocols? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32915704/
Consider nurse-initiated protocols and the nurse practice act:
Nurse initiated protocols are:
33 nurse initiated protocols (NIP) have been developed since 2001. These NIPs provide guidance to non-physician providers for initiating interventions prior to a patient being seen by a physician.
Nurse ‘Practice Act’ is:
The state’s duty to protect those who receive nursing care is the basis for a nursing license. Safe, competent nursing practice is grounded in the law as written in the state nurse practice act (NPA) and the state rules/regulations. Together the NPA and rules/regulations guide and govern nursing practice.
